Spacers fitted to New SL400

Only real unhappy thing i had about the new 4's look was the wheels.......... being hidden into the arches

So......... i went to our shop this morning - pinched the keys out of Sue's handbag, drove the car home, fitted the spacers and the new style protruding centre caps in black and drove it back without her even knowing........


I went for the 20mm rear and 10mm front as i had guessed and as suggested by Wolfie

Forum member Steve is going to post the pics for me.......... as i keep trying to upload either by drag n drop or by PhotoB. link(any mods out there wanna tell me why??)

Hi Shells

Yes still on Sue's car..........

No adverse effects on handling - its supposed to improve it - but you'd be hard pressed to actually tell

They just make it look loads better...........
